Hi Jim, this is the "Optics Ready Version" so you will need to replace the gas block for one that has a rail for a flip up front sight.

What to Know

Critic Consensus

I am confident in saying this model Colt is worth a look to anyone who is interested in a range, IDPA, IPSC, or target pistol. Though it has performed flawlessly, I am not sure I would recommend right off as a carry pistol. In my opinion the amenities such as the ambidextrous safety, Bomar rear sights and magazine well that make it an excellent range pistol may take away from its concealability. Read critic reviews...
